The Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese in Anambra State, Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, on Sunday, requested President Muhammadu Buhari to address Nigerians to douse the tension in the country over his health.
Ezeokafor, who spoke to reporters at the annual meeting with the Religious Council in the diocese at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Awka, said it was normal that people asked questions about the health of their President as he was not a private citizen.“We pray that he comes back in good health, those asking about his state of health have the right to know where their President is and how he is doing.
“It is normal to be sick because he is a human being like any other person.
“The interest in Buhari’s state of health is like the way people, all over the world, were worried when the late Pope John Paul 11 and Nelson Mandela were sick in hospital.
“It is high time he said something so that the suspicion and guessing will die down,” the bishop said.
